I might have a proper go this year,health wise seem to be getting back on track.
My theme suggestion ‘speed’.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to build a model meth lab.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I had another idea: trees are notoriously difficult to look good on the game board. As  terrain pieces they are useful for most games.

Would that be because you've been working on trees lately?

Thinking about it, how about ‘generic terrain’. Hills, trees, hedges etc. Useful items to have.

....rivers, ponds, beaches, rocks, mountains?

What about 'Plant life'; build a piece of scenery on a base no larger than 200mm x 200mm to the theme 'Plant life'.

Pringles trees on cds?

If the aim is to create terrain a more generic term might serve: "difficult terrain", "broken ground" or "obstructions".
Basically any of those terms wargames rules use to describe terrain features that hinder troop movements.

Wouldn’t the use of CDs limit the thematic range to the 1980s or ‘90s? I have no objection to that but I would ask that the material parameters be broadened to include Fax paper rolls and floppy disks.


Cos I actually need/want to build some, how about ‘bunkers’ as a theme? Any type, be that coal, Hitlerian or plain military style items.

How about 'Earth' or even 'Air', especially as you've had 'Fire' & 'Water'

I'd say 'Air' has been covered to, in the 'Flight' theme a couple of years back.
